I'm so sorry for your loss... She was a beautiful girl. We never have them long enough no matter how old they are in years. :-(

Aww SD, I'm so sorry. What a beautiful girl!! HSA is an awful disease - I'm just so, so, so sorry. My husband was also raised by his German shepherd, in many ways; she died of HSA as well and I still remember what a blow it was to him.

I hope you've been able to get some sleep over these past few days. I know time seems to move so slowly at first

You mentioned her hair being all that was left of her - I felt the same way about my Eva, and honestly if it was just me living here I don't think I ever would have vacuumed or removed her crate or her food/water bowls. My husband did it all for me, while I was at work one day maybe 2-3 weeks after she passed. (I mean, we vacuumed before that, but I carefully avoided any areas where she was known to leave big fur clumps.) If you're still having trouble with that, whenever you're ready, you might want to ask a friend or family member to do it while you're out of the house for a bit. I was even more upset at first, coming home and knowing her crate and bowls had been stowed away and her fur was vacuumed up, but then I felt better, because I wasn't carrying the burden of keeping the house looking exactly as it had when she'd last lived in it. I don't know if that makes any sense, but if it does, great. If not, disregard.

Big hugs - so sorry for your huge loss

I've been there. Dogs have always been an important factor in my adult life. Although my first dog was 16 when he died, it tore me apart. All I can offer is sympathy and to echo other posts that tell you what an incredible match the two of you were.

I'm sorry. You gave her a good life, and she knows much you loved her. You made a tough decision that put her need before your own. She was beautiful, and she will always be a part of you, she has helped to make you the person you are today, and that cannot be lost.
